Using fuzzy logic for system criticality analysis

Fuzzy logic provides a tool for directly manipulating the linguistic terms that an analyst employs in making a criticality assessment for a failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA). This allows an analyst to evaluate the risk associated with item failure modes in a natural way. Appropriate actions to correct or mitigate the effects of the failure can be prioritized even though the information available is vague, ambiguous, qualitative, or imprecise.<<ETX>>
